We are trying to find ways to make this less of a performance and more of an act of worship. Does anyone have any ideas or do something similar?  Angela J Elliott https://network.crcna.org/topic/children-youth/childrens-ministry/ideas-children-reciting-scripture Tue, 05 Nov 2019 14:40:00 +0000 https://network.crcna.org/topic/spiritual-formation/faith-nurture/resources-mentoring-young-adults We are looking for ways to mentor our young adults (both those who stay in town and those who go elsewhere to university). Do you have any strategies, programs, or resources that you've used? Any lessons learned or advice you can give?    Angela J Elliott https://network.crcna.org/topic/spiritual-formation/faith-nurture/resources-mentoring-young-adults Wed, 03 Apr 2019 13:49:33 +0000 https://network.crcna.org/topic/leadership/leadership-development/leadership-teams/what-i-read-summer-strengthening-soul-your I just finished a book by Ruth Haley Barton called Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership.
